It ended up taking a year and a day to hit 1 billion here, 1.121bn overall.
Because of how much silicon NVidia spent on aspirational features and where they ended up pricing cards as a result I haven't upgraded any hardware this year like I expected to; and probably won't until next years GPU refresh improves the cards bang for the buck.
ETA for 1.5bn is March 2020; but I'll almost certainly have a faster GPU before then.
1.5BN E@H, 1.68 BOINC wide.
My main rig's still on a GTX1080; I upgraded my older ones from a GTX970 and RX560 for post coincrash GTX 1070's, although that was mostly about reducing my power bill. I did get a mild performance bump but lost it as newer WUs paid out a bit. ETA for 2bn is sept 13 2021. OTOH I will be buying a new GPU for my gaming system this summer; and the pushdown will retire one of the 1070s (I'm power bill capped to 3 GPUs).
